Did you ever absent-mindedly do something as if you were being guided by remote control? There's no thinking involved...you're just going through the motions because you've done it thousands of times before. How did that work out for you? Well, this time, being in "automatic mode" worked out alright (in the end) for me, but it sure could have been a close call!
My eyelids were drooping. I had fallen fast asleep on the couch after correcting what seemed like thousands and thousands of science and math papers. When I awoke around 11 P.M. the Myth Busters Marathon was still on the tube and my hubby was peacefully sleeping in his recliner. I decided it was time to drag my sorry hide off to get ready for bed.
I shuffled into the bathroom, slipped into my favorite flannel jammies, and reached for the ol' toothbrush and Colgate.
